GDC 3rd Quarter Membership Meeting


 Please join us for our 3rd Quarter Membership meeting.  Our guest speaker will be Sara Berney, Executive Director with Wholesome Wave Georgia.
Founded in 2009, Wholesome Wave Georgia (WWG) believes that all Georgians should have access to healthy, wholesome and locally grown food.

In Georgia, more than 1.7 million people are considered food-insecure and receive federal nutrition assistance (SNAP/Food Stamp) benefits. The high cost and low accessibility of fresh foods leave these 1.7 million with limited options to feed their families. Food insecurity is linked to poverty, obesity, and other diet-related illnesses. The effect of food insecurity on America’s families is evident: approximately 65% of adults and 34% of children (ages 2 to 19) are overweight or obese.

Sara will share key information about their community outreach and how they accomplish their mission in the Atlanta community. Plan now to attend and be prepared to share your ideas. We hope you or a person in your organization can join us for the entire power packed morning of non-profit networking and training.

           

Alex Lane from Open Hand will also speak about the great work they are doing in the community that compliments Wholesome Wave. Plan now to attend and be prepared to share your ideas. We hope you or a person in your organization can join us for the entire power packed morning of non-profit networking and training.
